    Description

    I have for sale a vintage WWI era poster
    It is known as "CIVILIANS.
    The Jewish Welfare Board" by Sidney H. Riesenberg (1885-1971)
    It was printed in 1918, as lithograph on paper by Alco-Gravure, Inc., N. Y.
    It depicts a charcoal drawing of a soldier holding a hand up, while others soldiers are in a battle with rifles and smoke
    The full text on the poster is:
    CIVILIANS
    WHEN WE GO THROUGH THIS WE NEED ALL THE HELP AND COMFORT YOU CAN GIVE
    (Star of David)
    Sidney H. Riesenberg (printed autograph)
    The JEWISH WELFARE BOARD
    United War Work Campaign—Week of November 11 • 1918
    Approximate dimensions of the poster are:  33" tall, 22" wide
    When you look up The Jewish Welfare Board on Wikipedia,
    this poster is featured as the key image that represents this group. It is that iconic and well known
    It was kept in a clear plastic sleeve with foam core board backing. So it is in excellent vintage condition overall for it's age
    It is also hard to find in this condition
    Thanks for looking!
